Substance Overview and History

Melanotan, a synthetic melanocortin analogue, is primarily used for tanning but carries significant risks, including acute priapism. In a reported case, a 41-year-old man experienced severe priapism after subcutaneous injection of melanotan, requiring medical intervention such as cavernosal aspiration and phenylephrine injections. While he avoided surgery, his erectile function remained impaired at follow-up. This highlights the dangers of unregulated melanotan use, which is sold illegally without proper safety information or dosing guidelines, leading to life-altering side effects in users unaware of the risks.
